I just thought I'd give D another try, after having given up on it for a
while.
Lo and behold... the same old kind of problem from a year ago is still
here. :(
Simple stuff like this:
import std.algorithm;
void main() {
const arr = [1, 2, 3];
reduce!"a*b"(arr); // You'd think it'd work...
}
Results in ridiculously annoying errors like:
// algorithm.d(728): Error: can only initialize const member
_field_field_0 inside constructor
I **HIGHLY** suggest that priority be given to simple problems like
these, instead of OMG-so-cool-libraries. It really doesn't matter if
there is an uber-awesome collections/CURL/whatever library out there,
when problems like these exist. If a 2-line piece of code needs a
workaround, then (IMO) people simply won't care about anything else
that's more complicated.
I'll post more as I find them. (I'd found plenty a few months ago, now I
just need to find them again.)
Too lazy/busy studying to post as a bug. And it feels a bit better when
I add the complaint. :P
(Sorry for being so critical but at least I tried to make it
constructive...)
